A loop extrusion-independent mechanism contributes to condensin I-mediated chromosome shaping

Kazuhisa Kinoshita et al.

Summary: The study investigates the role of condensin I in chromosome assembly and identifies two classes of mutations that cause abnormal chromosome compaction. The findings reveal the involvement of a mechanism independent of loop extrusion in condensin I-mediated chromosome assembly and shaping.

A hold-and-feed mechanism drives directional DNA loop extrusion by condensin

Indra A. Shaltiel et al.

Summary: This study reveals the molecular mechanism underlying the activity of the active condensin complex in shaping chromosome structure by extruding DNA loops. The study shows that the condensin complex entraps the bases of a DNA loop in two separate chambers, with a power-stroke movement feeding DNA into the SMC-kleisin ring and the second chamber holding on upstream of the same DNA double helix.

A Mechanistic Model for Cell Cycle Control in Which CDKs Act as Switches of Disordered Protein Phase Separation

Liliana Krasinska et al.

Summary: Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) control the cell cycle by phosphorylating proteins involved in S-phase and mitosis, but the mechanism for regulating multiple proteins simultaneously is unclear. New evidence suggests that CDK-dependent phosphorylation may be achieved through similarities in phosphorylation sites and effects, preferentially occurring in disordered regions of proteins in membraneless organelles and regulating phase separation.

Molecular dissection of condensin II-mediated chromosome assembly using in vitro assays

Makoto M. Yoshida et al.

Summary: In vertebrates, condensin I and condensin II work together to assemble chromosomes during mitosis. However, our understanding of condensin II is limited. Through experiments, we discovered that one of the two HEAT subunits, CAP-D3, plays a crucial role in condensin II-mediated chromosome assembly, while the other HEAT subunit, CAP-G2, has a negative impact on this process. The ATPase protein and basic amino acid clusters of the kleisin subunit CAP-H2 are also essential. Deleting the C-terminal tail of CAP-D3 enhances the ability of condensin II to assemble chromosomes and reveals a hidden function of CAP-G2 in chromosome compaction.

MCPH1 inhibits Condensin II during interphase by regulating its SMC2-Kleisin interface

Martin Houlard et al.

Summary: The eukaryotic cell cycle is characterized by dramatic changes in chromosomal DNA morphology between interphase and mitosis. Cohesin and condensin enzymes extrude DNA loops to configure chromosomal DNA topology, with cohesin acting during interphase and condensin primarily during mitosis. MCPH1 gene mutations in patients with microcephaly and the deletion of Mcph1 in mouse embryonic stem cells unleash condensin II activity during interphase, leading to compact chromosomes in G1 and G2 phases. This process is inhibited by MCPH1's binding to condensin II's NCAPG2 subunit, highlighting the crucial role of MCPH1 in blocking condensin II's association with chromatin.

Mitotic chromosomes

James R. Paulson et al.

Summary: Our understanding of the structure and function of mitotic chromosomes has significantly progressed over the years, with key non-histone proteins and protein complexes playing important roles in chromosome formation. Condensins I and II shape the chromosome and scaffold through an ATP-dependent process called loop extrusion, ultimately compacting the mitotic chromosome with the help of Topo II alpha.

Opening of cohesin's SMC ring is essential for timely DNA replication and DNA loop formation

Ryota Sakata et al.

Summary: Research shows that in human cells, the cohesin complex overcomes structural obstacles on DNA through ATP hydrolysis-driven conformational changes, aiding in DNA replication and sister chromatid resolution in mitosis.
